Hey everyone!

Never made a proper introduction. Here I am, y'all would consider me a noob. Been smoking cigars for ~15 years, more seriously for the past decade, but most seriously the past 2-3 years. While I enjoy a fine top shelfer from time to time, a glance at my humidor will prove my love for more budget smokes. Everything from shop blends, bundles, and 5 Vegas, with only the occasional padron or liga privada thrown in. What can I say? I enjoy cheap smokes, which brought me to cbid a couple years ago. I'm that time I've been enjoying the banter here but very rarely got involved until the past week or so.

Now that that's out of the way, here's a random question for you...err... upstanding citizens:
I'm not a drinker, but love the idea of the various flavors from whiskeys and the like. Since I don't drink, other than the usual coffees and teas, what non-alcoholic beverages can you pick out similar flavors from? Bonus points if they pair well with cigars.

I can’t give you an answer as it relates to the bourbon / whisky part but have enjoyed these non-alcoholic beverages while smoking a cigar:

Dr. Pepper - regular or diet
Lemonade - suggested by Stinger88 / David...and believe it or not, it works!
Mexican Coke
Orange Crush
Root beer - A&W and Mug are my favorites

You should realize that we already have a Z and a King (of the Cove) and a King just moved in down the street from me this fall.

I hope this latest revision of the questionaire meets with the approval of Palama and that other SOB.

Welcome to the madhouse n00b not n00b. 🇨🇮

Only other drink other than bourbon I drink with gars is water or occasionally a beer (if paired properly) or an energy drink. It seems to me most sweeter type drinks go well with cigars but i haven't test this theory.

a cigar with carbonated diet sodas work for me...fave flavors are root beer, cream soda, ginger ale, Dr. Pepper, cherry vanilla 7Up...


but to really enjoy just the cigar, or one I haven't had before, I pair it with iced water only

Dr pepper goes great. A good root beer as well. Cream sodas with lighter stuff.
